Long Time LieDepeche Mode

Released: March 22, 2013

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore Dave Gahan

Producer: Ben Hillier

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
It's been a while since you did something
Not too long since you complained
You sit around here doing nothing everyday
You're the coward who points a finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some spaced out fantasy
That's what you do

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
He tried to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
Long time lie

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Don't you ever look in the mirror
Oh don't you know you're so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret while you moan

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
He tried to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
Long time lie

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
